"So how, exactly, am I supposed to live up to God's standards?"
Well, the standard is simple enough--perfection. Absolute, one-hundred percent, birth-to-death sinless perfection. In other words, you can't live up to it. Not even close. It's impossible. Try as hard as you can, you're still not going to be "good enough" to attain the perfect standard. You and I and everyone else walking this planet have already blown it. Degrees of goodness? Forget about it. Comparing yourself to others? Don't waste your time, because "others" are not the standard. God is. So it's yes or no. Pass or fail.
